After years of struggling with PCOS, severe IBS, eczema, psoriasis, mold toxicity, and thyroid issues, I spent countless appointments with doctors and specialists only to feel worse and without answers. When I finally turned to a holistic approach, I didn’t just manage symptoms. I healed them. Today, I am completely symptom free and thriving. With over 15 years of education in biology and holistic health, I now help others reclaim their health through education, science-backed holistic strategies, and lifestyle changes. Each episode breaks down how the body works, why symptoms appear, and what you can do to nourish, support, and heal it naturally. Tune in weekly to learn how to create balance, restore health, and live fully in alignment with your body.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wholistic-living-6719202"},"episode":{"title":"Episode 97: Methylene Blue, Ivermectin, Nicotine: Miracle or Misunderstood?","slug":"episode-97-methylene-blue-ivermectin-nicotine-miracle-or-misunderstood","published_at":"2025-10-14T15:17:21+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wholistic-living-6719202/episode-97-methylene-blue-ivermectin-nicotine-miracle-or-misunderstood","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wholistic-living-6719202","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-97-methylene-blue-ivermectin-nicotine-miracle-or-misunderstood--68133789","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/68133789/draft_1760452296245165_audio.mp3","summary":"Are methylene blue, THC, CBD, ivermectin, nicotine, colloidal silver, or creatine miracle cures… or dangerous fads?
